Family - October 2007

Does anyone have problems with their inlaws and favoritism with the grandchildren?
Tell me I am not the only one out there, and tell me what is the worst thing that your inlaws did.

since i was 6 yrs old my dad, my older bro and me go out some place for a couple of days alone every year. my dad taught us whats life out there to experience nature. every year its a little bit further and harder and my dad enspite of his busy schedules he find time for us. there are a lot of thing that you learn that you not get from school or for watching Discovery channel, it always a great experience. but most of all the bonding and respect that we earn in this adventures. these are the few days away from home that i can not masturbate and when i arrived home i immediately do the rituals since i'm kind of horny. im 16 now and my girlfriend and i plan to have sex when we are ready..we respect each other and i guess sex could wait. my freinds said you have a great dad and the wish they have thesame dad as i have. do we have to fault our dad if they don't have time for the kids while busy looking for money for the family? or we just have to understand them??

yesterday i was asking her a simple question and of course she has to give me the rudest reply, screaming at me, i started screaming back and told her i hated her, and then she told me she hated me to, i don't know if she said it in the heat of the moment or what, but she has told me she hates me before, and i would think even if she didn't mean to say it she would have said she's sorry. she hasn't even tried to talk to me since then. i'm starting to think that's the way she really feels because she doesn't really treat me like my brother and sisters. i don't know what to do, should i go talk to her or what???

Actually mine never told me, but of course I found out and at a very young age,so then the only thing I could think of to do was to hide the fact I knew from them as long as possible. Tough job for a little girl! My foster mother died from cancer when I was about 9, and daddy, who to me was my daddy still never said anything except I would always be his little girl!

My wife and I have recently had a baby and now we have her mother staying with us. We asked her to stay assuming she would stay a few days and help with household chores now that I am back at work. So far she's been with us over a week and plans to stay for two and she hasn't lifted a finger to help. In fact she's been acting like she's on holiday and treating the house like a hotel. My wife and I are sick of her but we are both too polite to tell her to leave. Any ideas on how to get her to go?

My dad's mother's side hates me and my mother. They are quasi-wealthy people. They're nuts basically insane from money. Now My grandmother spent my dad's inheritance money and will not pay it back. So that left my mom dad sister and me without a lot of money when I was growing up. My mom cleaned apartments for a while, my dad re enlisted in the army and raised us to be good honest people the opposite of his family. My dad's dad died in Vietnam and his mother became a real drinker. I hate my stepgrandfather. Ok another thing is my grand father and his brother married into the same family my great uncle divorced my great aunt because she's EVIL. \
I want nothing to do with my father's mother's side at all. They are very cruel people. They didn't care when my grandfather died and my cousins are really into drugs & alcohol. My sister & I are not. How do I do it?

For the longest time everyone in my family (including my extended family) knew what an awful man my father was (can't say whether he still is, as he's been out of the picture for years now). I spent many years defending him, right up until the end of high school when I started to come out of my 'fantasy' world so to speak. I watched my mom struggle, as a single mother of three with no help. I resented her for so long; what an absolutely horrendous and selfish thing for me to do. My heart now aches for my mom, she really is the strongest and most selfless person I have EVER met. It wasn't until I had been in my first relationship that i started bonding with my mom as a person, and not just a mother figure. We started opening up to one another after years of fighting. It felt so incredible, until I started learning of things my father did; such as, threatening to kill my mom. He beat the living daylight out of her while she was six months pregnant with the eldest child (older brother)

I've always been close with my mom ever since I can remember. Lately, she's changed into a whole new person. It all started in April. My mom hated our house, so she told my dad to sell it and to move. So we sold it and moved into a 5,000 sq. ft. house that they can barely afford. Since then, my mom has become so materialistic it's to the point she drives me absolutely nuts. She's found a job at my school and now she's mad at me because I'm not a sex-crazed boy humping every girl I come into contact with and she's trying to force my sister into dating college guys because of all the things she hears at my school. She thinks she's young again and she's turned into a cruel person. Nothing is good enough for her. She hates boys. She treats me and my dad like doormats. I really can't stand to be around her. She's just so different it's hard. When I try to ignore her, she cries and tells me I "hurt her heart" and then says I need to be nicer to her since she's my mom. What can I do?

My husband had a child 7years ago with a girl. We have my stepson 4days a week, she has him 3, Tue, Wen, Thr, not the weekends! She has to party. She has anther son by anther guy, he has custody, but she gets the kid a few days a week. That guy gives her money to help her out. She just had anther baby by anther guy, well she is still testing guys to find the Dad but she thinks she knows who it is. She is 30 & has never worked a day in her life. She feels a Mom should be home with her kids, I’m all for that if she was home with the kids! So she was never married to my hubby, we have no custody agreement, We pay for everything, she has brought us receipts for $6 before b/c she wanted to buy him something & felt we should pay. We cover all medical, school, anything and everything. In our state it’s 50/50 if we have him 50% of the time. We have him more so technically she should be paying us! BUT she has been demanding that we pay her support! What do you think we should do?

OK, I'm a 14 year old guy, and I have 2 cousins, one who is my age, and one who is 12 (both girls). They both go to the same school I've gone to all my life. Lately I've become jealous of both of them for a few reasons:

They're both still going to that school, my sister and I are not.
They both do well in school, are very popular, have a lot of friends, as I am struggling in school, have very few friends, have no popularity, etc.
Their parents are still together, mine are not.

Is it wrong to be jealous of them because of their happiness whereas I am kind of struggling? I just wish I could trade lives with them or something.

I have a serious problem that's been bothering me for a while. I've been with my boyfriend for over 2 years and my brother doesn't really like him. He always made little comments about my boyfriend and last night when I went out with my boyfriend he told my mom why does she let me go out with a drug addict like him. I know that my boyfriend doesn't use drugs or smokes pot, he occasionally has a beer and smokes cigarettes but that's it. I think that my brother's ex girlfriend told him lies about my boyfriend because she didn't like me. I just don't understand why is my brother being like this? My boyfriend said he will talk to him about it but I dont want that too happen because it will cause more problems between my mom and my brother. What do I do? My boyfriend is the nicest person I ever knew and never hurt me my brother should be happy for me but he's not. It's like he wants me to break up with the only guy I ever cared for. What do I do?

I am very worried about my family. First off, my little [8 year old] sister NEVER listens. She has to argue about everything, and if she doesn't get her way, she will either start crying or just keep arguing. She argues about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It is a never-ending fight living with her. Even of my mom and dad threaten to take away playstation, toys, t.v., etc., it just gets WORSE. If you tell her that she is punished she will argue and cry even more. She thinks that everything is all about her, and she is VERY annoying. She tells me "shutup" when I don;t even say anything!
My parents can't take it any more. My mom already has to take medicine becuase she has high blood pressure. My dad is just tired of it.
My main question:
What can I tell my sister to make her listen to my parents and not argue?
What can I say to her when she is arguing??
THANKS!!!

I don't have any family and the holidays are coming around. My Father died a few years ago and my Mother is an alcoholic with severe mental issues and even though I have gone to her home for the holidays in the past, it always ended with her getting really drunk and being mean and there is always a fight.

I always seemed to have a boyfriend so going to their family's home for the holidays seemed like a nice option but this is the first year I am single. Thanksgiving is a month a way and I have no idea where I am going to go. Soon after is Christmas, etc....

I am getting the feeling that I am going to spend the holidays very alone and it makes me sad. I will have no one to eat with or exchange presents with. I know it sounds stupid but I was thinking because I had such a dysfunctional family growing up, maybe I could experience the holidays with a nice, normal family. Does anyone know of a family rental service?

okay, so my parents ignore me. I'm 16, my cerfew is 11:00 pm, and my younger sister (who is 13) has a 10:30 pm cerfew. Does something sound odd with that? My sisters hang out all the time, and I'm forst to stay home and chill by myself. I haven't seen my boyfriend in weeks.
Does this sound normal?

Am I just overreacting?

I don't think this is fair by any means, but my parents pull the "I'm not going to get into that.." phrase all the time. I think its crap.

If you could help me out that would be wonderful. I'm a really good girl, and I don't lie or go behind their backs and do things.
I just don't understand.. the way they treat me makes me feel like i'm a little kid, and I don't want that at all.
*if you have any suggestions, or any thing to ask/tell them, or bring to their attention, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help!

Ok well a few nights ago we had family over and some friends as well. My stepdad is always rude to them, he puts them down or just ignores them completely.. Well the other night things got out of hand, first off he was giving my 5 yearold little sister alcohol while she was on vikadin for her fractured foot.. later on the night it kept getting worse, and near about midnight he got so pissed off and was about an inch away from beating all of us up. He was drunk that night, but he acts the same even when he's sober, and that scares me so much, what if one night he completely loses it and gets the gun we have in our house and shoots us.. I am terrified to be around him, I dont feel safe in this house anymore and I dont when i'm at other familys houses because their allowing my stepdad to be on the property, and I'm scared to be anywhere near him... I dont know what I should do, and I cant move out legally yet because I'm only 16, and i'm kinda afraid to get a teachers advice from my school cause police can end up being involved and things can escale even more... I'm going to move out when I turn 17, but thats 4 months away.. How can I make it through these 4 months until my 17 birthday so I can get out of here?? What should I do??

Where should I start, well i'm like the "average teenager" I make A's amd B's, I live in middle class america, i have good friends and family members, I'm involved in all kind of activities, i don't smoke, drink or pacipate in sexual adventures and i'm like the nicest person you could ever meet. But sometimes I feel barren. I feel like I'm searching for something or something's missing. I only have that feeling sometimes. I'm not depressed or anything but
I wanna know whats missing. I mean I have everything so why am I feeling this way. I'm my family i'm like the "average one". I have the older sister whom everybody think is perfect but they don't know her after dark. I have the college brother with the baby and another big sister who's 90 pounds and just absorbs money. Maybe I feel inferior to them but I really don't care what people think of me. I'm the laid back goofy kid I guess and nothing bothers me but this , unexplainable burden, pleads help!

First off, my entire extended family inculding aunts, uncles, cousins, cut me off 4 years ago. I was told by one wife of my cousin, "None of us want to hear from you, dont call us"
This was because i didnt call her husband (my cousin) for his 53rd bday.
The entire extended family backed off. its been 4 years and not one word from anyone..

Only the wife of a different cousin calls time to time, She is very fake and has Verbally abused me in the past. She talks like she knows from nothing i was cut off.
Shes been calling the past 4 years on labour day and thanksgiving, finding out what my holiday plans are and what im doing, obviously reporting back to them.
Shes left me 20 messages since labour day saying "I miss u, i care about u, i love u, call me"
I have not called and she wont stop, she dying to know what im up to for thanksgiving.
Shes not nice- in the past she has insulted and abused me, its all fake.
What can i do so she goes away forever?

I have a sibling whom I live with in the same home. Our parent passed away and they moved in first. However, I did move in and they seem to be very bitter to me. I have a job but I do not drive. I have an illness so I can not drive. The other day they stated that I owe them 200.00 for gas in the car for taking me back to forth to work. They do not work. However, I also pay half of the mortgage and half of the utilities. I was furious because there was no agreement having to deal with the gas for the car. So, they wrote me a lettinr demanding payment that was backdated from 4 months ago. I replied that I would not pay utilities twice and that I am hardly home to use the utilities in the home and to put the money I give them toward the gas in the car and I would pay 1/6 of the utilities in the home. They have not replied yet to me on my proposal but, I am wondering am I being fair to both of us or not? I did stated I was not going to backpay that far. What should I do?
